LX is the new name for the Base model on 08+

That means it's the 2.7, cloth seats, and few options. We've eliminated that from our list. We will not be buying a 2.7. My first concern with any Chrysler product is the transmission. How are their 5-speeds?

Transmission is a Mercedes unit, they're rock solid

sorry, i worded that wrong, i meant upgraded Lexus LS, 2nd or 3rd gen

Mainly to do something different. We are not a brand loyal family. And for the most part, they're priced high. Keep in mind, my mom paid $3500 for her 91 LS and I paid $3200 for my 92. We don't have new Lexus money.

If you're on a tight budget, it often makes sense to finance or lease a new car, this way you avoid expenses and possible downtime due to repairs. You can lease something like an Altima for around $200 a month, and it going to be hell of a lot better than a used Chrysler, and use half as much gas.

You missed the 8000 dollar budget

So...I talked them out of the 2.7......aaaand the 3.5

They've bought a loaded C, we're picking it up in a couple of weeks.

Well done!

I'm excited. The temptation to romp on that Hemi on I-80 coming home from NY is going to be hard to resist.

We picked up the 300C on long island on Friday. We are currently in Burlington, Iowa. It has been an impressive car for the last 1200 miles. There are a couple of electrical gremlins that need to be chased down, but overall we are very happy with the car. The only option i wish it had was an aux input for the stereo.... none of us brought CDs.
